Festival

Matsubara shrine festival will be soon at 3, 4, 5-May. There’re many portable shrines (Mikoshi) and many float (Dashi) parade during festival.

This festival is the most biggest festival in Odawara city. There’re over 28 portable shrines and over 4 formal floats around central Odawara city. Especially 5-May, all portable shrines under the protection of the Matsubara shrine will gather to front of shrine because the God will return back to home of shrine from portable shrines!! This final festival performance is all Mikoshis are full speed dash into shrine. It’s really dynamic and powerful.

Of course, I’ll attend it as I’ll ride on my region’s float for playing drum (Ohayashi) performance.
